How to design state based on useReducer-CodePudding

I have the below requirement:

We have a fleet of 10 trucks. Each truck can carry different loads, for our use case the load is medications. A Truck has:

serial number (100 characters max);
model (Lightweight, Middleweight, Cruiserweight, Heavyweight);
weight limit (500gr max);
battery capacity (percentage);
state (IDLE, LOADING, LOADED, DELIVERING, DELIVERED, RETURNING).

Each Medication has:

name (allowed only letters, numbers, ‘-‘, ‘_’);
weight;
code (allowed only upper case letters, underscore and numbers);
image (picture of the medication case).

And from my assessment, it is best to use a useReducer to achieve the aim. But my challenge is how to construct my state.

Should I nest the medication part, or should it stand alone?


    const [truck, setTrucks] = useState([
            {
                sn: "001001",
                model: "LightWeight",
                weightLimit: "50",
                batteryCapacity: 80,
                state: "IDLE",
            },
            {
                sn: "001002",
                model: "Middleweight",
                weightLimit: "150",
                batteryCapacity: 30,
                state: "IDLE",
            },
            //rest data here
        ]);

How will I present it in my reducer if it is nested:


    export const droneReducer = (state, action) => {
            switch (action.type) {
                case "REGISTER_TRUCK":
                    return [
                    ...state,
                    {
                      sn: action.truck.sn,
                      model: action.truck.model,
                      weightLimit: action.truck.weightLimit,
                      batteryCapacity: action.truck.batteryCapacity,
                      state: action.truck.state,
                    },
                  ];
                case "LOAD_TRUCK":
                case "CHECK_LOADED":
                case "CHECK_AVAILABLE":
                case "CHECK_BATTERY_LEVEL":
            }
        };

Thanks

Further to my comments, if you wanted it nested you would add a load property to the Truck object:

export const droneReducer = (state, action) => {
        switch (action.type) {
            case "REGISTER_TRUCK":
                return [
                ...state,
                {
                  sn: action.truck.sn,
                  model: action.truck.model,
                  weightLimit: action.truck.weightLimit,
                  batteryCapacity: action.truck.batteryCapacity,
                  state: action.truck.state,
                  load: action.truck.load
                  // an array of medicines with qty
                },
              ];
            case "LOAD_TRUCK":
            case "CHECK_LOADED":
            case "CHECK_AVAILABLE":
            case "CHECK_BATTERY_LEVEL":
        }
    };

So it might look like load: [{name: 'COVID vaccine', weight: 2, qty: 9000, code: 'CVD19'}]

And then you would access it like you would access any other property of a truck: truck.load. You can view it's contents, filter it and reset the state with a new value, add stuff to it, remove stuff from it, change the qty of something inside it. Anything.
